The following obituary comes from the May 9, 1935 Columbia Union Visitor, a Seventh-day Adventist Church periodical. Esther's husband was an Adventist minister. The Washington Sanitarium (now Washington Adventist Hospital) is in Takoma Park, Maryland.
BERRY, Esther Louise Wagner; was born in 1894, and died in the Wash- ington Sanitarium, after several weeks of illness, March 9, 1935. Miss Wagner finished a nurse's course at Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1918, and immediately took up private nursing. She later had the honor of becoming the first public health nurse in Knox Co., Ohio, which position she retained until the time of her marriage to William O. Berry, in August, 1923. To this union two children were born. In her new sphere of activity the same faithfulness and zeal were ex- hibited by our late sister, assisting her husband in his tent efforts and other church work by playing the organ or piano, and in giving health lectures. She was also active in giving treatments to the sick, help to the needy, and never failed to respond to a call from
a sick bed. Of her it can be truly said, "She was faithful unto death." Her husband, two children, mother, two brothers and one sister survive her, mourning their untimely loss. The funeral service was held in the Academy chapel on Sabbath morning, March 23, with Elder F. H. Robbins officiating, supported by Elders G. L. West and R. F. Parley, after which interment took place in the Mound View Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Ohio.
